THIS is why I dropped out of engineering

by Joey deVilla on October 23, 2003

Actually, the reason I dropped out was because I failed out, ranked 430th out of 431 in my class. #431, wherever you are, I owe you a beer!

Oh, believe me young man — if you become an engineer, sex WILL wait!

Not even sex can compare with the satisfaction of solving a second order differential equation representing a particularly nasty RLC circuit by hand…

I can’t even type that with a straight face.

Damn… they lied to us about what “integration” meant… and I was looking forward to triple integrals…

Integration seems to have entirely different emotional meaning to the profs than it does to students. I swear my calc prof quivered the first time we did triple integrals… and he was positively giddy when we started spherical coordinates.

I think my problem was that I tried to solve dy/dx by cancelling out the d’s.

Wait, so if I have sex I can’t be an engineer?

I didn’t know the entry requirements were so strict!

So are all the nuns in the world engineers then?

Thats what the habits are for! Hiding slide rulers!

At least you didn’t write “Assuming x = y…”

I have yet to meet a female engineer that has been forced to wait for sex.
